"No! Dad!"

Edward Weeble clenched the corners of his clothes tightly with his hands, and his face had an expression of disbelief and grievance, looking like a big dog that was suddenly abandoned by his owner.

"Why? Dad! Don't you want me anymore?"

Over the past few decades.

Buckingham Stussy has been brainwashing Edward Weeble.

Even when Edward Weeble was sleeping, Buckingham Stussy would whisper in his ear:

"You are Whitebeard's son. You are the only one who can inherit Whitebeard's fortune."

Decades passed.

Edward Wembley believed Buckingham Stussy's words without a doubt.

we can even say.

The meaning of Edward Weeble's life is to become Whitebeard's son and then get his father's property...

but now.

Edward Weibel felt as if the sky was falling.

Meeting my father for the first time and having a happy family, these two happy things happened together. It should have been a dreamlike time...

Why is this happening?
"Dad, look!"

Edward Weeble stroked his white beard as if to show off.

"Our beards are exactly the same! I also have a white beard! I am your son!"

Until this moment.

Edward Weeble didn't even realize the true identity of the "Clay Weeble" opposite him.

"Bai Long, what are you doing?"

Mihawk looked at what Storm was doing and couldn't understand it.

"You're...playing with a fool?"

Mihawk had totally seen through it.

The so-called "Whitebeard III" Edward Weeble only inherited the physique and strength of the young Whitebeard, but did not inherit Whitebeard's wisdom.

Edward Weibull's strength level is very high, but his intelligence level can only be said to be...

Almost equivalent to mental retardation.

Mihawk was greatly disappointed with Whitebeard III and had completely lost the idea of challenging him.

His expectations for "Whitebeard II", whom he has not yet met, also took a sharp dive due to Edward Wembley's poor performance.

Whitebeard III is a fool...

What will Whitebeard II be?
but.

No matter what Mihawk thinks of "White II" and "White III".

No matter how high Edward Weibull's intelligence level is.

This is not a reason for Bai Long to play with this fool!
"I'm not 'playing' him."

Storm replied casually without looking at Mihawk.

"To be precise, I want to take his 'ownership' away from his 'mother'."

Edward Weibull's intelligence level is indeed not high.

Storm knew this, too.

It's just that he didn't know that this guy's intelligence level was so low...

To be fair.

There are indeed many villains, bad guys, garbage and scum on the sea.

But there is a difference between dregs and dregs.

Some scum are born evil and are so bad that they are beyond redemption.

Some scum are turned into “villains” because they are manipulated by others.

Edward Weibull is very special among a group of trash.

In Storm's opinion.

Edward Weeble was indeed a pirate who had committed an unforgivable crime.

but.

This is a fool.

A fool who doesn't even have the most basic ability to make independent decisions.

Edward Weeble's life has always been manipulated by Buckingham Stussy.

In other words.

Edward Weibull was just a "tool man".

For such a silly tool.

Storm had no intention of killing the other party.

In his eyes, Buckingham Stussy was definitely more damnable than Edward Weeble!

But Edward Webber was a "good boy" who believed in Buckingham Stussy's words.

A fool, a fool tool, a fool tool mama's boy...

Storm had no intention of allowing Edward Wemble to remain with Buckingham Stussy.

That would only cause harm to the ocean.

Storm intends to take over the "custody" of Edward Weibel.

Mihawk wasn't too impressed with what Hakuryuu said, and he understood Storm's meaning in a more "pirate" way of thinking.

"You are attracted by Edward Weible's power, so you want to recruit him to be your subordinate."

“You can understand it that way!”

Storm admitted it openly.

"Number Two, do you want to come to my place?

"You tried it, my dragon, it's big and convenient."

"……boring."

The corners of Mihawk's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he stopped interfering with Bailong's actions.

Although Bai Long's recruitment of Edward Weeble was somewhat despicable.

But in comparison, Mihawk still hates Buckingham Stussy, who abandoned Edward Weeble without hesitation!
not to mention.

Hasn't Bailong always been such a despicable guy?
Storm ended his conversation with Mihawk and turned his attention to Edward Weibel.

He doesn't like to repeat the same thing twice.

But Edward Weeble's brain is really not working well...

"I'm not your father, Weeble."

Clay Weibull continued to repeat this sentence.

“Your strength, your bloodline, your genes all come from the real Whitebeard Edward Newgate!

"Whitebeard is your father!"

"White beard?"

Edward Weeble stopped stroking his crescent-shaped beard and stared at Clay Weeble with his big eyes in confusion.

"Aren't you Whitebeard? Aren't you my father?"

It's really difficult to explain something to a fool...

Storm sighed in his heart, but then he suddenly reacted.

Why should he explain this to Edward Weibull?

"Weeble."

Clay Weibull raised his right hand and released another huge ball of clay, shaping it into a tall and sturdy clay hut.

"Go to sleep first! When you wake up, you will see a different 'new world'."

What "bloodline", what "gene", what "new world"...

Edward Webber understood none of it.

But he can understand "sleep".

Since his father told him to go to bed, then he should go to bed.

Edward Wilbur strode towards the clay hut that suddenly appeared, walked into it without noticing, and began to sleep soundly.

"Snoring... snoring..."

It takes less than a few seconds.

A loud snoring sound that was deafening came from the clay hut.

Edward Weeble fell into a deep sleep.

Storm solved this "big trouble" and used the power of the [Clay Fruit] to capture Buckingham Stussy who had just been brought here by Edward Weeble.

He originally wanted to execute this "remnant of the old times" on the spot.

But remembering Crocodile's previous reaction, he stopped in time.

Storm brought the unconscious Buckingham Stussy to Crocodile and forcibly awakened this "desert crocodile".

Crocodile woke up from his coma, and he still felt a twisting pain in his lower abdomen.

The "belly punch" that Storm just delivered is still continuing to exert its subsequent influence.

"Bastard egg white dragon..."

Crocodile looked up at the sky. He couldn't remember how many times he had said this.

"Lao Sha, don't sleep anymore, get up!"

Storm's voice reached Crocodile's ears at the right time.

"Do you still want this woman?"

mother-in-law?

Crocodile was startled and immediately tried to sit up straight.

However, a strange feeling coming from below directly hindered his actions.

A huge banana crocodile with a body length of nearly several meters wanted to sit up straight, but was blocked by its thick tail. The entire "crocodile"'s body folded into a strange arc in mid-air.

Click!

Mihawk, who was standing nearby, captured this scene accurately.

But Crocodile completely ignored the dead noise coming from Hawkeye. He looked at the extremely thick banana crocodile tail that appeared under him in disbelief.

I wanted to touch it, but pulled my hand back - No!

hand?
Crocodile looked at his short and thick crocodile claw, and his brain completely froze.

Click——click——

Mihawk made full use of his good eyesight and took the opportunity to take several pictures in succession.

Crocodile was stunned for a full half minute before he barely regained consciousness.

Although he didn't know what was going on.

But his keen intuition immediately locked onto the suspect——

"Bastard white dragon!"

Banana Crocodile opened his bloody mouth and roared at Storm.

"what did you do to me?"

"A tiny bit of 'enhancement'."

Storm asked excitedly.

“I didn’t have the time to ask Hawkeye before, so now is a good time to ask you.

"How do you feel now? Um, if I could explain it more clearly...

"Do you think the crocodile's tail is 'growing' on you, or 'stuck' on you?"

Storm is actually quite interested in this issue.

The eight-star [Clay Fruit] can transform the shapes of other life forms at will according to his ideas.

But what is the difference between the acquired shape changes granted by the devil fruit ability and the innate morphological characteristics?
Can the "clayman" transformed by Storm have the corresponding body manipulation ability?

For example, Mihawk.

Can the "harpy" he transformed into fly with wings?
Take Crocodile, for example.

Can this "banana crocodile" whip its target with its tail?
“Hawkeye…”

Crocodile instantly realized something from Storm's words.

The person who had been "transformed" by Bailong was not just him, but also the world's greatest swordsman!
Crocodile glanced at Mihawk.

Mihawk, who was just happily taking pictures of the sand crocodile, suddenly turned dark in expression.

Everyone has a past that they cannot bear to look back on...

Being transformed into "half-man, half-eagle" by White Dragon is Mihawk's super dark history.

Crocodile saw something from Mihawk's expression, and he felt better. As long as I'm not the only one suffering, there's no problem -

No wonder!
Crocodile put all distracting thoughts behind him.

He also has extensive combat experience.

He already understood that his changes came from Haku's devil fruit ability.

As long as it is a devil fruit ability, then Armament Haki is its natural enemy!
Crocodile gathered his strength and burst out with [Haki], hoping to directly dispel Storm's ability.

however.

Something Mihawk had done before.

Crocodile couldn't do it.

Even if Crocodile erupted with [Armament Haki], he still had no way to dispel the form changes imposed on his body by Storm. Instead, it was as if a solid layer of Armament Haki defense was wrapped around his crocodile scales.

"What a pity, Old Sand."

Storm's joking words reached Crocodile's ears.

"It seems that your [Haki] can't remove my ability!"

Domineering restraint ability, but it is not absolute.

The ability development level of Storm's [Clay Fruit] has reached eight stars.

However, Crocodile's [Haki] is still a long way from the eight-star level.

under these circumstances.

Crocodile's [Haki] naturally has no way to remove Storm's ability.

In comparison.

Mihawk's [Haki] is stronger, so he can directly cancel the "Harpy Man" form.

Crocodile saw the explosion of [Haki] and had no way to cancel the ability.

He was anxious.

He was really anxious.

"Vongola Storm!"

Crocodile gritted his teeth and looked at Storm, calling out the latter's full name.

"Get rid of that damn ability of yours!"

"So, what's the price?"

Storm tilted his head, not at all frightened by the angry expression of the sand crocodile.

"What price are you willing to pay to allow me to remove this ability?"

Crocodile really wanted to say that as long as he could get rid of this weird crocodile form, it wouldn’t matter even if that bastard White Dragon died immediately!

But Storm was there.

Crocodile didn't say this in the end.

This time, he was simply transformed into a banana crocodile.

God knows what the White Dragon bastard will turn him into next time?
Crocodile was silent for a moment and kicked the "ball" back to Haku.

"what do you want?"

"Lao Sha, look at the nice weather today."

Storm suddenly uttered a puzzling remark, but in the next sentence, his true intention was fully exposed.

"Is this a good day to form an alliance?"

Recruiting Crocodile...is a bit difficult.

Even though Storm had the upper hand over Crocodile, he was not very confident that he could win over the other party.

Then we have to settle for the next best thing.

Recruiting is not possible.

Switch to cooperation!

"An alliance?"

Crocodile glanced at his crocodile tail.

In this situation, you want to form an alliance with me?
Damn White Dragon bastard!
Crocodile was unwilling to give an answer immediately. He looked at Mihawk who seemed to be indifferent.

"Hawkeye, what do you think?"

"I?"

Mihawk replied coldly.

"This is between the two of you—"

Mihawk didn't have time to finish his words.

A very beautiful photo suddenly appeared in Storm's hand.

"Mihawk, look."

Storm waved the artistic photo of the harpy in his hand and made a sincere invitation.

"The alligator is 'sand' and you are 'eagle'. When you two are combined, you can become a 'sand eagle'!
"What a great name! It sounds so powerful."

Mihawk didn't want to talk.

He just slowly reached out and touched the hilt of the [Black Blade·Night] behind him.

He now wants to fulfill his previous promise -

Kill the white dragon!

And at this time.

Crocodile, who had an extremely angry expression just now, was the first to calm down.

Things have come to this point, and he has no way to immediately resolve this embarrassing situation, so he can only consider more realistic issues.

Although Bai Long is a jerk, he is indeed very powerful...

Needless to say, Hawkeye is still worthy of being the world's greatest swordsman...

If there is such an organization that absorbs both White Dragon and Hawkeye...

Crocodile suddenly realized that he didn't need to look for any ancient weapons to gain power comparable to the Four Emperors!
"Hawkeye!"

Crocodile looked at Mihawk and said in a deep voice.

"Although Bai Long is a bastard, his words make sense...

“As long as the three of us put our names together, we will become a powerful organization that the whole world cannot ignore.”

"Sand crocodile."

Mihawk stopped drawing his sword and looked at Crocodile calmly.

"I know you, you never trust others, and I don't trust others either.

"Whether it's you or Bai Long, I can't trust them."

"but……"

Crocodile chuckled.

"Doesn't this mean that we happen to be 'the same kind'?

"Since we are 'pirates', of course we should 'birds of a feather flock together'!
"As for the White Dragon..."

Crocodile looked at Storm and raised his crocodile claw again.

"Weren't you also controlled by him? You should have experienced this guy's strength firsthand, right?"

Mihawk fell silent.

"You two, I've said this to someone else before, and I'm just saying it to you now."

Storm spoke at the right time.

"As the so-called 'pirates', as long as their interests are the same, they can act together.

"Although the three of us are all 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'.

“But from an outsider’s perspective, we are just pirates.

"Since we are pirates, our 'basic interests' are the same.

"From this point on, we already have a basis for cooperation, don't we?"

Crocodile nodded in agreement.

Mihawk was silent for a while longer before he managed to speak.

"The World Government will not be willing to see the three Shichibukai walking together!"

"When did Hawkeye care about the opinion of the World Government?"

Storm laughed sarcastically, and then he continued.

“Besides, why should we let the World Government know about our alliance?
"As long as the three of us understand clearly, we will know.

"Besides, we are forming an organization, not a pirate group. It's just a loose alliance."

Storm said this.

Mihawk had no reason to refuse.

Although he still didn't trust the White Dragon and the Sand Crocodile.

But adults only see the benefits.

Just as Crocodile said just now.

The three Shichibukai, just their names put together, are enough to shock the entire ocean.

From this point of view, there is nothing to lose by joining this loose alliance...

Mihawk looked at Storm and extended his right hand.

"photo!"

Storm raised his eyebrows and threw a thick stack of photos of "Harpy" to Mihawk.

Seeing this transaction scene, Crocodile could no longer sit still.

"Where's my picture? You two bastards!"

Mihawk said nothing, but threw out all the photos of the "Desert Crocodile" he had just taken.

The same goes for Storm.

"Sand Crocodile, destroy them! Just in case, use your abilities."

Mihawk looked at Crocodile and warned him directly.

"It's 'Erosion Reincarnation'!"

"Hey Hey hey……"

Several black lines appeared on Storm's forehead.

"Using the Corrosion Cycle to destroy a few photos? Aren't you guys making a big fuss?"

But obviously.

Crocodile didn't think this was an exaggeration.

He directly released the power of the [Sand-Sand Fruit] and destroyed all the piles of photos of the "Harpy Demon" and the "Desert Crocodile", leaving nothing behind.

"In this case, our organization is established!"

Storm spoke first.

"What is the name of our organization? Why not call it 'Storm Guard'!"

“That’s too bad!”

Crocodile refused directly. He glanced at Mihawk, and his gaze lingered on the [Black Sword·Night] that looked like a cross for a moment.

"Why not call it 'The Cross Guild'!"

Cross Guild?

The corners of Storm's mouth twitched.

Lao Sha, Lao Ying and me?

So who am I?

Storm refused decisively.

"No! This name is too common! And it doesn't sound domineering at all!"
